The story was thoroughly creepy and the artwork was amazing, complementing the story perfectly.

There wasn't a lot substance to this story. The blurb promised a look into the Joker's twisted psyche, which is grossly misleading. This story follows Jonny Frost and his growing obsessive admiration for the Joker, over the period of a night, which felt like days. I feel a more appropriate title would be something like 'A Frosty Night with The Joker', I feel the title was misleading.
The art was fairly detailed, which was the only thing that kept me interested in the story.

La progresiĆ³n de la historia, el tono y el final son maravillosos; mucho menos ruidoso y llamativo pero muy acertado.

Great, except I don't think I really care about Jonny Frost. Looked good. Loved the story.

Not my favorite interpretation of the Joker, but very interesting. Loved what they did with Croc and Riddler.

Interesting artwork. Some times it was good, while other times it just annoyed me. Interesting story though. Nice to see a story focused on the Joker and just how nuts he really is!

Maybe the craziest joker story...

I applaud this book for attempting something: answering the question of why someone would be a henchman to the Joker.

But basically, it seems like the answer is "Because you're a total loser who wants to be somebody and has accepted that it probably means you'll die in the process."

Which kind of works, but it kind of doesn't because, well, just think about it a moment: who are the Joker's famous henchmen?

I mean, obviously, in real life, Bob from the first Batman movie. Who had his own action figure and was dispatched in hilarious fashion.

Hey, how does it work in that movie that Joker shoots down a plane with a pistol that has a super long barrel? I don't think that's how guns work.

Anyway, in the fictional DC universe, I can't imagine there are a lot of famous henchmen. Isn't everyone just like, "Jesus, well, that guy's got about three days left to live, and if he's lucky Batman will shatter most of his bones and he'll live"?

Dope cover, though. I would like to read about Joker visiting the dentist.
